The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.

Horrifying.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

JUST IN: US judge bars Musk, DOGE from further efforts to shut down USAID reut.rs/4kWnL9M

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Trump admin moves to deport a legal immigrant on a valid visa. Judge orders them not to. Trump does it anyway.

So what’s the remedy here?

NEW: Unions representing career diplomats and federal workers filed an emergency motion against the Trump administration to prevent officials at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from violating federal law by destroying classified records.

A USAID official told employees to clear safes holding classified documents and personnel files by shredding the papers or putting them into bags for burning, according to an email sent to the staff.

I cannot overstate how much I love the fact that Williams & Connolly put *14* individual lawyers’ names in the signature block of their complaint.

W&C is sending a clear message: We are not afraid.

BRAVO.
